Jeff Bezos reveals why he refuses to make a single important decision before 10am: "I like to putter in the morning. I like to read the newspaper. I like to have coffee. I like to have breakfast with my kids before they go to school. My puttering time is... very important to me. That's why I set my first meeting at 10 o'clock" "I like to do my high IQ meetings before lunch. Anything that's going to be really mentally challenging, that's a 10 o'clock meeting. Because by 5pm, I'm like, I can't think about that today. Let's try this again tomorrow at 10am" "As a senior executive, what do you really get paid to do? You get paid to make a small number of high quality decisions. If I make three good decisions a day, that's enough. Warren Buffett says he's good if he makes three good decisions a year"show more

Good for him. Historically, I had to be at my desk by 7 am and log into the mandatory monitoring software that tracks my apps and open tabs to ensure I'm on task. No puttering for us peasants.

Rough.

Yeah, he doesn’t make a decision till 10 AM and then he stops making decisions at 12 PM and then he makes a decision at 5 PM on what to eat. This is all bullshit.

Tell him Dave

👍

He has a unique approach to living. Unfortunately, it’s not really applicable to most of the people on this planet.

Can you imagine how much more Bezos would be worth if he did cold plunges in the morning…

Amazon Employees: You clocked at 8:00:37, we are docking you half a day's pay.

1. "Billionaires work so hard to earn their wealth" sorry no the fuck they do not 2. This is the most privileged fucking thing I have ever heard from a guy who forces his employees to work without breaks even when one of them dies on the job

P.S. We build content infrastructure for founders and VCs. 1.5M views/week average. Your voice, cross platform, compounding daily. Not for everyone. But if you need massive distribution, apply here:

Read the newspaper? This guy’s a fucking clown..

Imagine you are the CEO. Are you there to make your $billion? Or, to grow the company. How do you identify the liars in the myriad of managers beneath you? How do you identify the brains of the outfit? Bezos is the founder. He cares about the company. His heir? $Billion.

Pardon?

He has a point. But then there’s people like Elon and Trump who go nonstop improving the world. They truly are rare gems.

so true! i also limit myself to three good decisions a day. usually it's choosing not to look at my bank account, choosing to snooze my alarm, and choosing to ignore this tweet until 10am

Senior executives get paid for nothing.

GOOD ADVICE from Jeff. And we really appreciate all the shopping we can do from home on line with Amazon!!

I set my first appointments for 11am.

This is one of the smartest productivity ideas honestly: protect your cognitive energy instead of spending it randomly.Most people treat every hour of the day the same, even though their mind clearly isn’t operating at the same level all day. Bezos understands that his real value is not attending endless meetings. It’s making a few high-quality decisions with a clear mind.Also interesting that he protects slow mornings instead of glorifying chaos. The highest performers are often calmer than people expect.

Average Americans are up at the crack of Fucking dawn breaking their bodies just to survive because of the crushing weight of the wealth disparity in this country and this motherfucker @JeffBezos is puttering around like an asshole.

Bezos makes 3 good decisions a day. Buffett makes 3 a year. With AI, you make 3 good decisions every 10 minutes — because AI eliminates the bad options in seconds, and you only decide what's left.

Disagree - AI tells you every idea is a good idea. Depend on it at your peril.

Tell AI to attack your idea, not validate it. It's terrifyingly good at that.

Realistic!

Thank goodness that is not how Elon operates.

Not sure how this is helpful for anyone but Bezos. I'm very familiar with AMZ's way of working, and their "leadership principles" do not allow the average wagie to "putter" before 10 am or ignore things in the afternoon

Well great but he built a platform that is a nightmare for sellers. Chock full of paranoia and robotic responses. A big bloated mothership that acts like minority report. No matter how long you have "endured' there ,when it is time for elimination, they fall back to their business section to assemble the firing squad.

Buffett makes 3 good decisions a year. Mine was even simpler: Buy $VOO. Don’t sell. Repeat. One decision. Every year. Still compounding.

Who the fuck cares?

About a million people, by the looks...

Idiots all

At what time in the morning did he decide to attend a fascist's inauguration?

Breakfast with Daddy in the morning is Key! and a gift! His kids and wifey cherish his presence im sure.

Disagree

Finally. There is someone else…

Most founders optimize for a packed calendar when they should be optimizing for an unhurried mind.

💚✨🌟

ben de 30 dklıı bir şekerlemeden sonra çok daha dinç ve odaklı hale geliyorum , zihnim de açılıyor sabah saatlerinde ise tam bir malım 😅7-8 de yani

TIL that I’m just like Bezos, less all the net worth.

Very sharp.

Je suis pareil le matin,je traine, je prends un café avant de choisir quelles croquettes donner à mes chats 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

His calculations of 33% more was accurate.

Jeff must've been sleeping less and baking badly a few years ago, because Amazon worked great for years, this year it glitches and freezes all the time and makes it really hard for you to make a purchase. The whole point for his customers was the convenience, so he lost the plot.
